Performer Notes
  • Machine Head: Robert Flynn (vocals, guitar); Ahrue Luster (guitar); Adam Duce (bass); Dave McClain (drums).
  • Recorded at Indigo Ranch, Malibu, California.
  • Machine Head's third album finds them sounding a bit looser and less constricted musically than they have in the past, but their aggro-metal with funk overtones is still plenty dense and emotionally claustrophobic. Aided by modern metal producer extraordinaire Ross Robinson (who has also helped Korn and Limp Bizkit get in touch with their inner Lemmy), Machine Head continues to explore themes of alienation, loss, and abuse, but singer/guitarist Robert Flynn is singing a bit more this time out; on "Silver" he almost croons. Unfortunately, while his up-tempo bellow is pleasantly generic, his singing voice and delivery both sound like they were lifted directly from middle-period Eddie Vedder. Flynn and the rest of the band are actually at their best in funky, hip-hop mode, as on "Enter the Phoenix" and the early section of "From This Day." Amazingly, they also deliver a respectful cover of the Police's "Message in a Bottle," one which, disappointingly, adds little more than crunchy guitars to the mix. Overall, though, this is a pretty satisfying aggro-rock affair. ~ Rick Anderson
Professional Reviews
Q (9/99, p.109) - 3 stars (out of 5) - "...All round, proof that Machine Head will be one of the leading metal bands of the new millennium."

Alternative Press (10/99, p.98) - 3 out of 5 - "...they extend their range to its furthest limits....And when this heightened sense of tunefulness crashes headfirst into the trademark Machine Head brawn...the result is fire-bretahing melody..."

CMJ (7/12/99, p.30) - "...THE BURNING RED is a mammoth album...[it] smashes you like a 10-ton hammer."
